The story of opera star Maria Callas, portrayed by Angelina Jolie, is told in retrospect from Paris in the 1970s. As if piecing together a mosaic of her turbulent and tragic life, Maria relives its defining moments – her first steps on stage, the relentless hard work, the suffering, the magnetic pull of the spotlight, the fear, the exhilaration, and the triumph.

“Chilean director Pablo Larraín’s portraits—Jackie, about Jackie Kennedy, and Spencer, about Princess Diana—stand apart from conventional biopics. With Maria, he continues in this stylistic vein, crafting a sensitive portrait of the most influential opera star of the 20th century, who spent her final years in solitude in a Parisian apartment.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
